It is narrated from Sayyiduna Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Stay upright with Quraysh as long as they stay upright with you. If they do not do so, then place your swords on your necks and wipe out their greenness (their flourishing multitude). And if you do not do so, then become wretched farmers who eat from the toil of their own hands."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "In this hadith, only Khalid reported it from Yazid bin Abi Ziyad, from Ibn Salim bin Abi al-Ja'd, from his father, and Muhammad bin Khalid is alone in narrating it, whereas other people narrated it from Yazid, from Salim."
